Surfing

There’s something innately sophisticated about surfing on a beach break slap bang in the centre of a city.

It works in Rio, and in its smaller European equivalent San
Sebastian. The prime surfing beach, Zurriola Beach is set against a
backdrop of elegant belle époque streets.

This is a beach break, so safe for beginners but fun enough for
pros as well, and in a city with food this good, the ability to
exercise off a few calories is doubly attractive. Original Travel
can arrange surfboard and wetsuit hire, and lessons for
beginners.
